with the road open before him, abundance
OF rolling stock, and the enemy In panic
in his front. The cause of this delay was
that Andrews, reasoning in way that
would have been justified In the case of
any other Federal general, was assured
that Mitchell would inevitably be delayed
more than one day by such torrents of
rain as had fallen since we left camp; and
that for us to strike too soon would i'm
pair the value Of our work and might even
call the enemy's attention to Mitchel's
own advance; so he had sent word to our
different squads that the grand attempt
would be Saturday, the 18th of April, in
stead of Friday. That would yet be in
full time for Mitchel's enterprise, but 1t
increased our own difficulties and dangers
in way that will soon be made plain.
On our morrow's work, therefore, de-

and probably the whole after course of the

CHAPTER iii.
WE CAPTURE THE TRAIN.


The Andrews party were greatly crowd
ed in the large hotel ut Marietta on Fri
day night, having to sleep three or four to
bed, but soldiers are not fastidious, and
the greater number slept soundly. We
had unbounded confidence in our leader,
whose part it was to provide for all con-
tingencies.
The names of the men who reached Ma
rietta to take part in the railroad raid
were as follows:
james j. Andrews, leader of the expo
dition and citizen of Kentucky.
The Second Ohio regiment contributed:
Marion A. Ross, Company A; George
ID. Wilson, Company b; William Pitten-
ger, Company G; Perry G. Shadrack,
Company X.
From the Twenty-first Ohio regiment
were detailed:
Mark Wood, Company C; j. A. Wilson,
Company C; j. II. Porter, Company CT;
William Knight, Company e; Wilson f.
Brown, Company f; Wilson Bensinger,
Company G.; Robert Buffum, Company
III; Z. III. Mason, CONF any K; John Scott,
Company X.
The Thirty-third Ohio supplied:
Martin j. Hawkins, Company A; Will
lam Reddich, Company b; John Wollam,
Company C.; Samuel Robinson, Company
G; ID. A. Dorsey Company III; Jacob
Parrott, Company K; Samuel Slavens
William Campbell, also a member of
the expedition, was q citizen of Ohio on O
visit to the camp, and managed to enlist
among the raiders.
Andrews scarcely slept at all that night.
He first went to the 'otel and saw that
those who lodged there had made arrange
ments for being called on time in the morn
ing. Porter and HaW l;ins, who had come
down the evening bef,.c and had gone to
bed much earlier, wei5 not seen, and as
they had not paid the waiter any fee for
rousing them early, t. Y were left behind;

as they were both brave men and Hawkins
was an experienced engineer This left
us but nineteen men in addition to the
leader.
We were all reused promptly at the
railroad hotel little before daybreak
Andrews, who came b * to AS, now went
from room to room lie we were dress

morning. There was suppressed fire in

the contrary, an eagernesA and joy that

more hastily over those events and ex-
plantations which, while necessary for
full understanding of the whole, are more
in the ordinary line of military experience,
in order that more space be given to those
elements of tragedy and thrilling adven-
ture in which this raid stands separate
and unrvaled among all the many heroic
deeds of the terrible struggle for maintain
ing the American Union. Not single

Two of our number, however, were sus-
pected, and as the readiest way out of
their dilemma, joined the Confederate
army--which we had all been expressly
authorized to do in case of need, and
which was the easier now, as the conscrip-
ton was being relentlessly enforced, and
il was assumed that all travellers who
could not give good account of them
selves were fleeing from it. At Marietta
we spent the night, intending to capture
our train in the morning in camp of
the eneny's and making our way
northward, burn tho bridges, which
constituted the object that had brought
us more than 200 miles away from the
nearest Union forces. But everything
had worked well so far, and we were very
hopeful.

CHAPTER /.

THE ANDREWS RAID REACHES THE HEART
OF THE CONFEDERACY.
at Nashville, in March, 1862. while Gen.
ID. q, Buell. commanded the Army OF the
Ohio, spy in his employ, j. j. Andrews,
proposed to him to take eight men and
destroy some of the principal bridges far
to the south, on one or more important
Confederate railway lines Buell. con-
scented and gave the men; but though the
daring spy took his men to Atlanta, Ca,
the enterprise failed from the absence of
Confederate railroad engineer whose
help had been promised. The men, with
Andrews, succeeded in reaching the
Union lines again in safety, at Murfrees-
boro and Shelbyville.
4 These points were then under the COM
ilaud Of Cen. 0. II. Mitchell, the celebrated
astronomer, who had been detached with
10000 men FROM the army of Buell. for the
purpose of guarding Nashville on that side,
and of INJECTING any injury in his power
upon the enemy. The reportof Andrews,
who brought full information Of the condi-
ton Of the enemy south and east of Mitchell,
probably confirmed the daring schemes he
was already entertaining, and between
them they arranged for the boldest push
of the war. What they meant to do may
IL
did Mitchell moved his whole division to
Shelbyville, Tenn, and prepared to move
rapidly and secretly upon the line of the
enemy's communications directly south
ward. To Andrews he gave authority to
take from twenty-four to thirty volunteers
probably man from each company of
the I'd, 21st and 33d Ohio regiments. The
twenty-three of these who reported were
dressed IT. ordinary suits in place of their
uniforms, supplied with side arms only
and with an abundance of Confederate
money, and met their leader in lonely
wooded spot ut night near the Union
picket line. Here he directed them to
break into small squads, and getting into
the rough and unguarded country in the
Cumberland range Of mountains, proceed
by unfrequented routes across the noun
tains to different stations on railroads far
within the Confederate lines, where no
guards were placed and where travel was
as yet free and unrestricted by passports
or O her dangerous formalities. Then it
would be easy TO reach any part Of the
south. IL questioned while on the way
they were to state that they were from
Fleming county, KY, on their way south
TO escape Yankee" tyranny and to join
the Southern army.
Fleming county was the home of An
drews, and there is q thread of tender and
pitiful romance connecting it with his
name which the writer learned on the
spot from parties concerned many years
after. Andrews loved, wooed and won
Kentucky lady of that vicinity-Miss
Elizabeth j. Layton-who, like himself,
was an ardent Unionist. She was de-
scribed to me by neighbors as not strik-
jngly beautiful, but attractive and osti-
mable. Before their marriage the war
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1887-11-18


When we were ready, as it still lacked
little of train time, we gathered in An
drews' room for an informal council of
war. Some were seated on the edge of
the bed, one or two on chairs, and the
remainder stood around IS best they
could. We did not speak very loud, as we
wished no sharers in our plans. Andrews
gave no exhortations-the time for that
had passed-but rather cautions to pre-
vent too precipitate action. He said:
"When the train stops at Big Shanty
for breakfast, keep your places till tell
you to go. Get seats near each other in
tho same car, and say nothing about the
matter on the way up. If anything un-
expected occurs, look to me for the word.
You and Notwithstanding the men
twill go with me on the engine; all the
rest will go on the left of the train for
ward of where it is uncoupled, and climb
on the cars in the best places you can,
when the order is given. If anybody in
terferes, shoot him, but don't fire until it
is necessary.
Sergt. Maj. Ross, the ranking man of
the party, and as brave as any, offered a
respectful protest against going further.
He said that circumstances had changed
since we set out; that it was day later
than planned; that many more troops
were ut Big Shanty than formerly; that
we had noticed the crowded state of the
road as we came down, and that Mitchels
movements would make the matter worse.
For oil these reasons he thought it better
to put off the attempt, or give it up alto
gether.
Our heads were very close together as
we talked, and tho words softly spoken;
the door was locked, and the windows
overlooked the railroad, so that we were
sure to see the train coming. Andrews
very quietly answered the objections Of
Ross, admitting all the facts he stated,
but claiming that they only showed our
way the clearer. The military excite
ment and commotion and the number Of
trains on the road would make our train
the less likely to be suspected; and as to
the troops at Big Shanty, If we did our
work promptly, they would have no
chance to interfere. Capturing the train
in the camp would be easier than any
where else, because no one would believe
It possible, and there would therefore be
no guard.
Andrews could always find reason for
everything; but these plausible arguments
were not perfectly convincing, Several
others, among whom was j. A. Wilson,
joined in respectful protest against pro-
ceeding. Then Andrews, speaking even
lower, as was his wont when strongly
moved, said:
boys, tried this once before and
